I just love the internet, almost anything you're ever curious about, someone has made a video about it
Thankyou for this video

[Daily_Dose_of_Grass]

after 12 years of school with history, I never knew what these meant, just took a 6min video from youtube to understand this very clearly Thank you!!

[Jaxpandaman]

this made so much more sense that what my teacher told us

[brackdance]

I must say the way you explained everything is absolutely phenomenal. Thank you!

[jcomandante]

Been reading a lot of history books, and have constantly been procrastinating about what AD/BC/BCE/CE means and how it works. Ahahah, thank you for this!

[Brenessa]

Oh, so this whole concept isn't actually that confusing to understand. Thank you for the straight forward explination

[ElizaDolittle]

Thank you for this accurate explanation. A lot of people believe that BCE and CE have "officially replaced" BC and AD, but they haven't. They have been "officially included" as labels in the numbering system. I'm an historian and still use BC and AD for my publications.

[JohnSmith-sejs]

This is the first time in 40 years that I've notice someone put AD before the number. I've always heard it as like, "1000 AD".

I don't know why I went searching B.C. and A.D. today. But after an hour or so looking at different sites and articles, this 6min video has answered my question and helped me understand far more than all those sites combined! I thank you!

This is such an Amazing Channel. - I failed in School and Dropped out of College due to Mental Health Issues. I'm now a Middle Aged man in my 30's, and I'm re-educating myself on just about everything I missed out on. Thank you so much for this! I love your channel!

[soumyajain]

I did not understand it in 14 years of my school life, and you explained it in just 6 minutes. Thanks a

[hardikrana]

I didn't need to pause the video for a sec, SO SMOOTH AND EASY EXPLANATION

[ericvigen]

Thanks for this informative video, and thanks for clear speaking with a decent pronunciation that is easy to understand by whom their native language is not English.

[ishita]

I have been searching for this for a long time, no matter how much I read the art history timeline it was never clear to me how this thing works exactly. Thanks for clearifying this, make more videos like this.

It's refreshing to learn again. I only learnt about BC and Ad but now i understand CE and BCE.

[OutWestC]

BC/AD FOREVER !!
But very informative video thank you very much for the explanation 🤙🏽

[clubadi]

Great explanation, thanks! I've been watching Roman Empire from Netflix and it was annoying not to understand when the events took place =| This was good, now I have better understanding.

[mingyuanjing]

Explained in 5 min while my teacher took 40 min.

[carlpeters]

Every time I see "BCE" & "CE" I read that this person possibly cares more about their own politics than actual history, science, & truth. I'd like to ask them how they feel about changing the names of the months or even the days of the week - since many of those also originate from ancient religions.

Brilliantly put together and meticulously delivered. Thanks a lot.
